Where Thoughtful Planning Meets Elevated Experiences

Let’s make your vacation unforgettable!

Bonjour!  My name is

Stefanie Bushore

I am a passionate travel advisor who believes that every journey should be an unforgettable experience; crafted with care, curiosity, and a deep understanding of what matters most to you. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful island retreat or an adventure deep in the Amazon, I’m here to make it happen.

My journey began with a love for exploration and a calling to create experiences that feel personal and meaningful. I bring a blend of firsthand knowledge, creativity, and thoughtful planning to every itinerary.

Whether you’re embarking on a romantic getaway, a family reunion, or a  solo expedition, Explore by Bushore is about more than just travel—it’s about crafting stories you’ll tell for years.

I believe that travel isn’t just about checking off destinations on your bucket list; it’s about connecting with cultures, immersing ourselves in landscapes and savoring life’s exquisite details. I design travel that reflects your style, sparks your curiosity, and creates memories that linger long after you return—because I’m a memory maker, committed to turning your travel dreams into moments that matter.

Luxury, for me, isn’t defined by price tagsit’s about the thrill of the discovery, the taste of authenticity, and the joy of shared laughter.

I was having a very difficult time planning my vacation by myself. The more I researched, the more confused I became As I was not familiar with all the different islands of Fiji and their activities, Much less travel between each island. Stefanie Bushore stepped in to help. She was quite knowledgeable and Scheduled a phone call to see What we were looking for: Relaxing, cultural activities, adventure, big hotels with lots to do, or remote bungalows For a romantic feeling? She then put Together a package with different budgets And let us choose. We find tuned the details and she booked everything for us. Her communication was great, And she is very organized. She sent us links to everything so we were able to keep track of what was chosen. Everything on our trip was perfect and went off without a hitch. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Thank you so much Stefanie !!

Stephanie Bushore set up a Zoom meeting with us, because our travel companions live in a different state. She is knowledgeable and attentive to all of your travel needs and questions. Stephanie was recommended by others and I can’t agree more. If you want a hassle free trip, try Explore by Bushore. Our trip was once in a lifetime (hopefully not)Viking Cruise .

My husband and I, along with another couple, recently returned from a Viking Rhine River cruise. Stefanie was amazing in helping to plan all aspects of our trip. She tended to every detail and answered every question immediately, whether by phone, text, or email. Her communication and attentiveness was nothing less than outstanding, and greatly appreciated. Stefanie was highly recommended by friends who had taken a similar cruise, and we are so happy that they provided us with her contact information. When considering future travel adventures, we will be contacting Stefanie, for sure. Thank you so much, Stefanie!

Stefanie did an incredible job planning our 25-day trip through China and Japan. Our itinerary included 3 days in Hong Kong, 5 days in Shanghai, a 7-day Japan cruise, 3 days in Xi’an, and 4 days in Beijing, and she handled every detail seamlessly. She arranged everything from airport transfers, private tours, hotels, train tickets, and flight reservations, making the entire trip stress-free. Before booking, she had us complete a very detailed questionnaire about our travel preferences, from the types of experiences we enjoy to flight seat preferences and food allergies, which made the trip feel very personalized. One of the most helpful parts was the physical itinerary she created for us. It included not only all of our travel details, but also translations we could use when exploring on our own in China. She also uses a travel app where we could easily access our itinerary at any time and make selections for the tours and experiences we wanted. Throughout the planning process, I was able to make changes to the itinerary when needed, and Stefanie was always very easy to get ahold of with quick responses. Her communication, organization, and attention to detail made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I was so impressed that I have already booked my next summer vacation with her. I highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, organized, and thoughtful travel agent!

We had a wonderful experience working with our travel advisor, Stefanie Bushore, for our recent trip to Europe. She recommended an amazing hotel that was perfectly located and exactly what we were hoping for. She also provided a thoughtfully curated list of activities in each destination, which made planning easy and allowed us to tailor the trip to our interests without feeling overwhelmed. When we arrived, we were greeted with a sweet note and a bottle of champagne waiting in our room — such a special and thoughtful touch that made the trip feel even more memorable. We’re so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone planning a European getaway!

What a pleasant experience we had using Stefanie for our week-long Princess cruise! The booking was thorough and she made sure the suite she chose for us was exactly what we wanted. It was far enough from the elevators to not be bothered by the noise of the bells and Stefanie made sure we weren’t under the loud pool! There was a problem while we were on board and we texted her about it. She took care of it for us so that we could sit back and relax. That’s why you need a travel advisor like Explore by Bushore.

Stefanie planned everything for our ski trip perfectly. Great communication, and I referenced her itinerary link and “things to do” several times on our trip. She is super organized and responsive. The complimentary cheese platter, fresh baked cookies, and bottles of nice wine upon our arrival were also certainly appreciated. I highly recommend her as a travel agent, and we will definitely be using her again in the future.

I loved working with Stephanie to plan our trip to Costa Rica. While planning we had a number of constraints to work around (e.g., had to travel over the holidays and it turns out starting to plan 6 months out is not early enough) and Stephanie put together a great trip that met all our varied interests. Stephanie was available in real time when we had an issue that needed to be worked out while we were on the road which I also really appreciated. I plan on working with Stephanie for our future travels, especially international travel. I've also been telling all our friends and even casual acquaintances about the joy of working with Stephanie and Explore by Bushore.

Explore by Bushore helped me set up an anniversary trip to Europe to celebrate the milestone. The hotel options presented and secured were in great locations to walk to city centers and restaurants. Flights and transportation were convenient for getting from the cruise ship to the airport, etc. Easy to work with and responsive to concerns or questions.
